Campers engage in a diverse range of activities including developmental sports, outdoor learning, exploratory science, and arts and crafts. The program aims to promote physical activity, mental health, and overall well-being. Activities are designed to foster independence and personal responsibility, encouraging campers to navigate their schedules and advocate for themselves. Two-week sessions for older campers (Bears and Grizzlies, ages 9-12) allow for customized activity schedules with elective options like swimming and archery, while one-week sessions have pre-set activity schedules. The camp is accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA), ensuring high standards in safety, quality, and programming.
A typical day for Cubs (ages 7-8) includes outdoor exploration, sports, arts and crafts, and group games. Older campers (Bears and Grizzlies, ages 9-12) engage in three morning and three afternoon activities, with options ranging from sports to creative arts and crafts.
This camp is best for middle schoolers aged 7-12 who enjoy a variety of recreational activities, outdoor exploration, and opportunities for social engagement and personal growth.
